We're here now, and we LOVE our room--80s, so refurb, a top floor on an end so NO foot traffic--not exactly the section I requested but conceptually what I wanted so I'm happy. Haven't experienced the loudness/hearing other rooms that others have mentioned, but probably helps that we are on the end.
And I'm wondering if they've figured out the dirty floor issue. Our room is perfectly clean (our housekeeper is actually a bit overzealous, but I hate people touching my stuff and prefer when they just clean and don't rearrange my toiletries etc). Anyway, earlier I walked past a housekeeping guy who was going door-to-door in 80s, so refurbs, with just a vacuum cleaner-looking thing. So maybe he's just Floor Guy? So maybe they're on that problem.
